- W2898845108 abstract "Intermediate filaments (IFs) are known for their extensibility, flexibility, toughness, and their ability to hydrate. Using keratin-like IFs obtained from slime fibers from the invertebrate Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa), films were produced by drop-casting and coagulation on the surface of a MgCl2 buffer. Drop-casting produced self-supporting, smooth, and dense films rich in β-sheets (61%), whereas coagulation formed thin, porous films with a nanorough surface and a lower β-sheet content (51%). The films hydrated and swelled immediately when immersed in water and did not dissolve. X-ray diffraction showed that the β-crystallites remained stable upon hydration, that swelling presumably happens in the amorphous C-terminal tail-domains of the IFs, and that high salt conditions caused a denser network mesh size, suggesting polyelectrolyte behavior. Hydration resulted in a roughly 1000-fold decrease in apparent Young’s modulus from 109 to 106 Pa as revealed by atomic force microscopy nanoindentation. Nanoindentation-based power-law rheology and stress-relaxation measurements indicated viscoelasticity and a soft-solid hydrogel character for hydrated films, where roughly 80% of energy is elastically stored and 20% is dissipated. By pulling coagulation films from the buffer interface, macroscopic fibers with highly aligned IF β-crystals similar to natural hagfish fibers were produced. We propose that viscoelasticity and strong hydrogen bonding interactions with the buffer interface are crucial for the production of such long biomimetic fibers with aligned β-sheets. This study demonstrates that hagfish fiber IFs can be reconstituted into functional biomimetic materials that are stiff when dry and retain the ability to hydrate to become soft and viscoelastic when in water." @default.
